Vessel Description

WS Lynx is an azimuth stern drive (ASD) harbor and coastal tug operated by Wilson Sons Rebocadores, one of Brazil's largest towage operators. The vessel is part of Wilson Sons' dedicated harbor towage fleet, providing port assistance, ship berthing and unberthing services, and escort operations at major Brazilian ports. Built in Brazil in 2005, the tug is designed for high maneuverability typical of ASD-configured vessels, enabling effective operations in confined port environments. Wilson Sons Rebocadores maintains a significant operational presence across multiple major Brazilian port complexes, and WS Lynx forms part of this integrated fleet supporting commercial shipping operations along the Brazilian coast.
